This routine defines future alignment points within the block to be inserted. It creates a point in the drawing, and that point stores the position and description of the point. When the block containing the point is inserted into the master drawing the description is used to prompt the user for the location of the matching point in the master drawing.
If one such a point is found in the block, it defines the shift. When there are two, they define the shift, rotation and scale of the block being inserted. To define an insertion point, specify the point location and a prompt you want the user to see when the block-to-be is inserted.
